National Sculpture Society is seeking submissions for the Henry Hering Award, which is presented as the occasion warrants for outstanding collaboration between architect, owner and sculptor in the distinguished use of sculpture in an architectural project.
The jury is looking for excellence in an architectural project in which the architect collaborated with the sculptor and the owner of a site. The winning entry will receive three medals and three hand-lettered citations -- one each for architect, owner and sculptor. The awards will be presented at NSS' Honors and Awards Dinner in summer 2012.
Eligibility - Architects, landscape architects, building owners and sculptors are eligible. The use of figurative or realist sculpture is of greatest interest.
Selection Process - The jury is composed of three sculptors and two architects.
Submission Deadline - Submissions are due by September 30, 2011.
Submission Materials - No entry fee. All materials can be submitted on a CD.
Project statement which indicates purpose of architecture (church, corporate headquarters, etc.), describes the history of the project, and demonstrates the interaction between the architect, sculptor and owner of the site.
A CD with JPEG images of the site clearly showing the relationship between the building and the sculpture, the site of the sculpture and close-up images of the sculpture itself.
Images of architectural drawings of the site should also be included.
